PATCH 1/1 Documentation/kernel-parameters: remove inttest parameter

According to grep I see no users:
| #git grep inttest
| Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: inttest= [IA-64]

The parameters itself has no description what it supposed to do. According to the history tree, it was introduced in "[PATCH] Updated Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt" ("10414c6ddb"). By that time that parameter had an user. It was removed later by "[PATCH] ia64: SGI SN update" ("c6bacd5010ec") by Jesse Barnes himself.

In reply to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior

It has no more users, the last one is gone in "[PATCH] ia64: Kconfig cleanup" aka ("6fd79ab50b").
mcatest is gone in commit "[PATCH] ia64: SGI SN update" ("c6bacd5010ec").
